This Crazy Life Chapter 1: Where is my life going, a fairy tail fanfic

Hi everyone! I like to talk a little about what I have for now!

First of all, I'm Canadian – I know; snow, polar bears and eskimoes eh? – So my spelling isn't wrong when I write 'colour' or other words differently than how you do.

Secondly, this is my first fanfic ever so I'm definitely open to suggestions and comments. To be honest it would be a great boost and drive me to write more.

Thirdly, I'm a high school student in the IB program. Basically that means that I have a lot of homework plus a busy schedule so I will try my best to release one chapter a week. I know the pain of waiting for a new chapter that doesn't show up so I already have a few chapters prepared. As for how often I will post, I have no clue when I will update but like I said, I will try and update at least once a week.

One more note, I made this chapter after I made what is considered chapter 2 so to me, this is more of a prologue.

Hope you like the chapter!

"Phew! Finally! All done!" I took a moment to look around my new apartment. The newly found treasure was really just one open area with a kitchen add on and a bathroom. You could see the working desk that was near the bed with the open window. There was a small living area with a couch and two chairs. Since I love all kinds of things, I have 2 large ceiling-high shelves that hold a range of things like books, movies, CDs, records, knitting, many knick-knacks and a few photos, along with a few girly things and jewelry. The kitchen was kind of narrow but had all the essentials, plus it had a breakfast bar! And don't get me started on the bathroom; I think it is the most elegant and amazing part of this apartment. The walk in closet had to be one of my favorite parts of the place too! Some might think it's small but… It's my own. Taking another look around my apartment – I still couldn't believe I got this place at such a snag – I took in all the work I did to unpack and all of the little details put in. Thank god the place was already furnished. I had absolutely no money to pay for all the furniture that was already there.

Sighing from the long hours it took me to set everything up I collapsed on my bed calling my dog over. "Want to come up Plue? Hop up!" With the orange muzzled dog snuggling against me I look up at the ceiling trying not to think about all the white dog hair I'll have to clean off of my black sweater. I also went deep in thought of what I was doing and what needed to be done. Again, I was making several 'To do' lists in my mind and going through my schedule and reminders. Well my job starts in a few days and it's a great place from what I've seen. It's getting near the school year and I'm still not sure if I'm accepted to the school I applied to. I really hope that I don't miss a year of school because then I would have nothing to do to occupy the empty and never ending spare time.

Fairy Tail is well-known throughout all of Fiore's schools, but it's not always for the right reasons. It might have some great staff and students for their intellect and skill but it's famous for being very destructive. Trust me, I'm not lying. Once they almost destroyed their entire town Magnolia because their school lost their championship football game. Although the people there always cause a commotion, they seem to have a lot of heart and courage. Both are qualities that I find interesting and admire, even if I'm not like them. I wonder what it would be like at the school…

I took a moment to let my head flop to the side and hit the pillow. Seeing the clock on the bedside table, I glanced at the time. "1:30? Time sure goes fast when you're having fun... Pfft!" I couldn't even say that with a straight face. It was great seeing everything out of their prisons of a box and in its place in the open room, but it took forever. With the time in mind, I thought it would be a great opportunity to make something for lunch. My stomach agreed with me judging by the grumble that could compare to a bear, pleading for something to feed it. After trying to shuffle off the bed without disturbing Plue – which was pointless, might I add, since he jumped off the bed as soon as I stood up – I went over to the kitchen to look at what was in the fridge; nothing. There was nothing. I know that teenagers normally say that even when the fridge is fully stocked but it wasn't like that. There was only half a carton of milk, an avocado, and this piece of bread with some cheese… or was that mold? Either way, I wanted to play it safe so I wasn't going to eat it. My stomach didn't seem to like it since it grumbled again in what I like to think was a fit of rage. I look over to Plue and I could tell he knew what I was thinking by the excitement in his eyes and his rapidly wagging tail. I bent over to look at him from above, face-to-well-uh-face and said, "Want to go for a walk?" I took his bark as a yes, attached his leash, threw on my jacket, and grabbed my wallet, keys and some bags. We locked the door and left the apartment.

Heading out of the building, we took a turn to the left and traveled alongside the river for about 10 minutes. We headed first to a nearby restaurant; it was small but friendly. Sure there were elegant cafés and well known diners around that area but none of them really liked dogs and were a little more expensive, plus I felt like the smaller places have a better quality. I tied Plue's leash to a table outside as he sat in one of the patio chairs and went into the restaurant to order. About 10 minutes later – WITH SUCH INCREDIBLE SERVICE MIGHT I ADD – I came back outside with a strawberry milkshake, a dish of pasta, a chicken leg and a bowl of water.

After we finished all our food – I took about 30 minutes, while Plue took all of 48 seconds and yes, I timed it – we left to go to the grocery store. I had to have Plue tied up outside because if not, I was sure he would start chasing after a squirrel or cuddle and/or slobber a person to death.

While inside, I was searching for all the essentials for survival for the next few weeks. While walking down one of the aisles, I came across one of the most difficult life decisions I would ever have to face. "Cookies are necessary, right?" Trying to debate this was difficult so I ran a few scenarios where cookies were absolutely necessary, like if the Cookie Monster came over. I was really searching for any reason to have cookies at my house because who can't resist sweet things, especially cookies. Suddenly, a bark from outside broke my train of thought.

I could tell it was Plue but this didn't sound like his usual 'I'm-sooooo-happy! I-want-you-to-pet-me-and-play-with-me' bark. It was strange, mostly because Plue always greets people like that. This bark was deadly, the kind of bark with a hint of growl that I would normally see if someone seemed threatening, either towards him or me. I almost dropped the box of Oreos in my hand and ran out when I heard a voice cry out, "What the hell dog?! I just wanted to say hi!" Could it be that Plue just doesn't like him? That's never really happened before but I guess there's a first for everything… I realized if that was the situation then Plue could probably take care of himself for a bit longer, just so that I can finish up groceries.

"Ha! Stripper got rejected, again! Why is that not surprising? HAHAHAHAHA!"

"Well Dragon Breath, I wasn't too surprised when you failed English. I mean come on; you thought that Boo Radley was a fucking ghost!"

"You damn exhibitionist!"

Many shouts and screams followed that. I was afraid that Plue would do something crazy or attack one of those screaming idiots. It seemed like there was another person with them that kept a level head since I heard a calmer voice and all the yelling stopped at once. I came closer to the window near the end of the aisle to see if Plue was alright.

When I got to the window, I saw Plue sitting calmly like how I left him. The teens – a guess I made from their voices – that were heard outside weren't there anymore. I was pretty relieved to see Plue wagging his tail and greeting people who came into the store, especially a little girl who almost tackled and was petting him. Normally I would worry about her, but it figures that she's attacking him.

I finished up as soon as I could but when I got out there nothing was out of the normal; Plue was happy to see me, as usual. Returning to the apartment was usual. When I unlocked the door, I started to move all the groceries to the pantries and fridge. I hear a slot in the door creak and whirl around to see what it was. A letter just dropped on floor. I cautiously walked over to the note, unsure of the mysteries I would find inside; God dammit I need to stop my inner writer narrate my life.

Picking up the letter I turn it over to see the Fairy Tail Academy crest on the letter, addressed to 'Lucy H.' I scrambled to open the letter, shutting my eyes and clutching the paper to my chest; God I hope I get accepted. Bracing myself I slowly open one eye to peak at the sheet and just after I was pouring my eyes and drinking in everything written.

I turn around and fell back in my bed, still clutching the letter to my chest. After a moment or two just lying there I let out a shrill and throw the paper into the air. This one slip set her into a world of excitement and happiness;
